Any November Sleevers?

[Mojo56 88]

Day 9 of 14 pre op. Feel ok but do have sinking spells of weakness but it passes. I don't think there is any way I could exercise while consuming only 800 calories a day. 5 more days!

You can do this! Stay positive and focused. Time will pass quickly.

In terms of pre-op diet...I am starting day 5 today. Not going to say I didn't cheat a little bit, but I'm trying to eat things like...a pack of tuna, or a chicken breast if I do cheat. Unlike others, I have 14 days of liquids - that is, no veggies or solid Protein of any kind (well, I can have a half cup of low fat cottage cheese every day), just 3-4 Protein Shakes, broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free Popsicles. There are 3 doctors at my hospital and my doctor does the 14 day diet, one doctor does 10 days, the other 3 days. It is one of the hardest things I have ever done, not being able to actually chew anything. I also haven't lost a single pound (maybe the plain grilled chicken breast I ate is holding me back! Lol), but that's just further affirmation to me that my body is freakin' crazy and I HAVE to get this surgery to have some help losing this weight. Surgery on November 20th. Good luck guys!!!

Keep it up. You've totally got this! The diet after surgery is painfully similar. I haven't, and won't be able to, chew for over 4 weeks. I actually had a dream last night that I was eating a giant salad at a salad bar. Lol.

[dashofsunshine 875]

@ girl yes!!! salad sounds so good! I have been craving a can of carrots for four days, Haha so weird. When you can't have anything, I guess your priorities change, lol. I hated cottage cheese before this but we are best friends now!

That's funny, I've never been a fan of cottage cheese either but I've been dreaming of some ways I can use it during puréed stage in a few weeks. And refried Beans never sounded so amazing in all my life.

[dashofsunshine 875]

Mmmmm refried beans...I would totally put some fire sauce from Taco Bell on some refried Beans and eat that...sounds amazing right now, lol. Better go drink my Protein shake!! Ugh ???????? haha!!!

[jessiquoi 623]

i love refried Beans and i'm hoping i still do post-op, because i think i could live on them. i would love to mix them with some medium hot salsa!

[KristenVSG2014 1,871]

Yes! Salsa makes everything better. I have so many puréed stage recipe ideas I can't wait to try!

[ASHMAGS 6]

I am on day five of my pre op diet. 3 Protein Shakes a day, Water and chicken broth. I've lost 10 pounds since Saturday. Surgery at 730 tomorrow morning!

[MUA 18]

Getting sleeved today!!! So excited and a bit nervous, but so ready!!!

[RedDirtRoads 64]

I have pre-op tomorrow and surgery Thursday! I'm excited but my nerves are frazzled!!! I have been browsing the before and after pics to help me focus . . .

[mhugueley 45]

This time tomorrow I will be on my way to the hospital to check in for surgery! I am so excited! I give all you liquid dieters props....I dont have to start liquids until 6pm tonight! I am nervous. I think i am mostly nervous to be at the hospital overnight and leave my furbabies to be cared for by my stepson lol. My doctor offers the surgery as outpatient but my insurance requires the overnight :/
